Business Tax for S-Corps, Partnerships & C-Corps
Business taxes for S-corps, LLCs, partnerships, C-corps, and sole proprietors. Individual tax returns for business owners, rental properties, equity compensation, and multi-state filing requirements. We manage your complete tax position.
Tax Planning & Retirement Tax Planning
We help businesses maximize their tax deductions and tax credits. We help individuals minimize taxable income for a given year or lifetime taxes paid. We do not sell investment products or manage portfolios. We provide unbiased tax advice.
We specialize in businesses with $1M–$50M in annual revenue
We focus on growth-oriented business owners who have outgrown their current solo/small CPA. We help general contractors, real estate, professional services, medical, dental, trades, and similar businesses that value their financial data and want to keep more of their hard-earned money.
A partner all year, not just at tax time. Our clients get the most out of working with us when we are part of the picture throughout the year — keeping the books clean, planning ahead, and helping you make confident decisions as your business grows.

Why Avoiding Capital Gains Can Sometimes Cost You More
John Barut, CPA, was quoted on retirement tax planning and multiyear Roth conversion strategies.
“Having a better handle on future taxes — which many retirees don’t plan for in their retirement budget — takes some of the uncertainty out of retirement planning.”
